Yes! With Jet, you can receive a refund for any unused premium of a Landfill Credit Account Bond that was paid in full. When you request cancellation, Jet will notify Union County right away. When calculating your refund, Jet only withholds the amount for the time your bond was active; the rest of the time left on the bond turns into your refund.
If you are on the monthly payment plan, Jet will send a notice of cancellation to Union County right away. Your payments will be stopped once the County has confirmed the cancellation of your bond. Unlike prepaid annual terms, monthly payments would not be eligible for a refund.
When it is time to renew your Landfill Credit Account Bond, Jet will send you a notice via standard mail and email. Since this bond has a custom limit, any changes to the limit can be addressed at the time of renewal.
Whether you are renewing with payment in full or on monthly terms, you will need to verify your bond limit. You can do this online through the email Jet sends, or via snail mail. For a bond increase or decrease, Jet will provide you with new rates. It is important to address any changes to avoid complications with your landfill credit account.
Claims on a Landfill Credit Account Bond are easily avoidable by making sure payment is remitted to Union County for the use of services at landfills. As an account holder, you are obligated to fulfill payment for the services agreed on in the landfill credit account application or any updates made. Claims on the bond come from failure to make such payments and are filed by the County for the restitution for services provided.
If the County files a claim against your Landfill Credit Account Bond, Jet will investigate the validity of the claim. Your cooperation and honesty will be needed during the investigation. If the claim is proved valid, Jet will pay the County for the claim. Although payment has been received by the County, you are still responsible for your actions and must pay Jet back in the amount of the claim to restore your bond to the full amount. Failure to do so can result in complications with your landfill credit account.
